Was Kelly Price And Dawn Robinson’s Monologue Better Than The Rest Of 'R&B Diva’s LA' Cast

R&B Divas LA

The season finale of the reality show "R&B Divas LA"
featured a monologue show held at a concert hall in Los Angeles,
starring singers Chante Moore, Michel'le, Lil Mo and Claudette Ortiz.
The ladies did a very good job in telling their stories and singing
compelling songs.

Noticeably absent from the monologue was singers Kelly Price and
Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. Price caused a significant amount of
friction on the show, after she repeatedly stood up the ladies at rehearsals
and social events, such as a charity where she was the guest of
honor.

know, I have two pillow shams like that background fabric! Is that my
pillow shams (just teasing but I do have two pillow shams just like
that backdrop fabric and in the exact same color)

Price was upset that after waiting around for her, the other four
ladies took the initiative and hired their own director and production
staff to start the monologue, whilst still working her into the show.
Price left and did her own monologue with Robinson, which did not
have good production values. The content was good, but the production
needed work.

It should go without saying but the Judiciary Report will state it
anyway, Price and Robinson would have been better off sticking with the
other ladies and their show, which was far better in many ways. Now
price has to deal with her name that is in tatters all over the
internet, as people watched the show and disliked her attitude and
bullying.

This is often a problem in girl groups. Someone always wants to be
the center of attention, rather than working as a group and it causes
massive problems and splits. In a group setting egos must be checked at
the door or things will not work. Even as a solo artist, showing up
with one's ego turned all the way up leaves a negative
impression.
